Has anyone here grown rye for grain? Have been offered a buyback contract for feed rye that caught my attention.
What is the yield like?

whats the buyback deal ? its a great crop especially on light land but the market for it is very limited
Ours went for pig feed.
there is market but it is limited and prices not great as a result - circa £90/t today I was told earlier ?
on a good contract / buyback though it could work
I’m told that values would be comparable to barley in which case I can see it working. Looks like it has lower inputs too with a lower amount of N requirements to winter barley.there is market but it is limited and prices not great as a result - circa £90/t today I was told earlier ?

Had a email from glencore about this think it said £30/t under wheat
I might try 20 acres anyone recommend a good variety seed seems to be plenty dear enough
If it's the deal I'm thinking of they are aware of the greater differential between wheat and barley at the moment and think it will be taken in to account.Should be worth more than barley as its between wheat and barley in nutrition terms, it should be linked to wheat price somehow to give the option to hedge a forward price. 2 maybe 3 fungicides and 2 splits 150 kgN total. plenty PGR if you think you've done enough gjve it some more. Can get brown rust and mildew. Responds to management but can be grown cheap/lower yield.
I think it depends on your soil type. There are some very drought tolerant varieties out there.Had a email from glencore about this think it said £30/t under wheat

I’ve got a bit of sand that droughts offI think it depends on your soil type. There are some very drought tolerant varieties out there.
Is that a hybrid I assume you can’t hssI’ve been looking a Serafino from the KWS stable. Think it looks the best all round variety they offer. Seed is expensive compared with wheat and two row barley, but a smaller premium compared to hybrid barley for instance.
Wow that’s expensive, I’ve been quoted £630 to £650 per pack. Should do 6ha depending on seed rate.Is that a hybrid I assume you can’t hss
How much is the seed
Been offered Dukato at £740/T
Who was that price from?Wow that’s expensive, I’ve been quoted £630 to £650 per pack. Should do 6ha depending on seed rate.
No, can’t FSS from hybrid but then I’m not that worried. We’ve grown hybrid barley and rape, so accepting hybrids to a degree.
